This paper argues that leaders of organisations that are especially sensitive to the needs of the natural world require a unique and demanding set of skills and understandings. They need to be tolerant of diversity in people and ideas and at the same time coercive in a struggle to keep the organisation 'on track'. Eco-Machiavellian leadership is therefore difficult and made more so by the requirement for a relatively sophisticated understanding of organisation theory.
